ADJUSTMENT STEP 2

Adjust Force

Force Adjustment Controls are located on rear panel of opener. FORCE ADJUSTMENT settings regulate amount of the power required to open and close door.

NOTE: The door STOPS in the UP direction if anything Interferes with its travel. Door REVERSES In the DOWN direction If anything interferes with Its travel (Including binding or unbalanced doors).

If the force adjustments are set too light, door travel may be interrupted by nuisance reversals in DOWN direction and stops in UP direction. Weather conditions can affect the door movement, occasional adjustment may be needed.

Maximum force adjustment range is 260 degrees, about 3/4 of a complete turn. Do not force controls beyond that point. Turn force adjustment controls with a screwdriver.

DO NOT USE FORCE ADJUSTMENTS TO COMPENSATE FOR A BINDING OR STICKING GARAGE DOOR. EXCESSIVE FORCE WILL

INTERFERE WITH PROPER OPERATION OF SAFETY REVERSE SYSTEM OR DAMAGE GARAGE DOOR.
